    Moving Shozam, your gallery and a custom theme to a new computer?

    Paul Bundy (www.paulbundy.com) was gracious to submit helpful instructions for this scenario. Here are the basic steps:

    How do I move a gallery with a custom theme from one computer to another?

     These instructions assume that the Shozam gallery folder and the customised theme folder ( from C:\[...]\My Documents\My Shozam Themes\[CUSTOM THEME NAME]) have both been copied to a USB drive or or other removable media for transfer to the new computer. When this has been done: 

    • Install Shozam on new computer.
    • Copy your Shozam gallery folder to a location of your choice on the new computer.
    • Run Shozam, select Modify an existing Web gallery, navigate to your gallery folder and then click Next .
    • At this point a message will appear saying the specified theme is not available and a default theme will be used. The gallery will open using a default theme.
    • Click Next and then Next again to take you to Step 4 (Themes).
    • Then click Customize.
    • Click Save As and enter any name in the box (e.g. test). This can be deleted later.
    • Click the Edit Theme dropdown list. You should see the theme test at the bottom of the list.
    • Minimize Shozam
    • Copy your [CUSTOM THEME NAME] folder to the My Shozam Themes folder on the new computer - (C:\[...]\My Documents\My Shozam Themes\[CUSTOM THEME NAME])
    • Maximize Shozam,  Click the Edit Theme dropdown list and select your [CUSTOM THEME NAME] from the bottom of the list. This will then be applied to the gallery.
    • Continue with Shozam as normal - your custom theme will now be applied to your gallery on the new computer

    These instructions are now also available in the online FAQs:
